My husband and I visited Lillie Pearl on 2/28 and had a pretty mixed experience.
I want to start by saying our bartender, Katie, was very kind and attentive. She provided genuinely good service throughout the evening and handled a difficult situation professionally.
We ordered the shrimp and grits and the lamb chops with jollof rice. Unfortunately, the lamb chop dish was disappointing, the rice was very overcooked and the lamb chops themselves were less than satisfactory....read full review
This place is one of the best restaurants in Richmond hands down!!!!

Lillie Pearl, located in Richmond, Virginia, is a restaurant that offers a unique dining experience. The ambiance is warm and inviting, creating a spacious environment with tall ceilings that surprisingly keeps noise levels down. The staff is welcoming, and service can be prompt and efficient at times. The menu is a fusion of traditional flavors and modern twists, offering dishes that are sure to delight.
One of the standout dishes is the wings, which have a crispy exterior and succulent meat. They are glazed with a house-made sauce that is both sweet and tangy. The braised short ribs are another must-try, prepared perfectly, with meat that falls off the bone. Guests can also enjoy the chicken sandwich and beet salad, both noted for their good quality and generous portions. The smothered pork chop and crispy skin salmon received high praise, and the shrimp and grits are a favorite among those who try them.
For those who don't eat meat, Lillie Pearl offers a variety of vegetarian options, such as roasted heirloom baby carrots, fried brussel sprouts, and hand-cut fries. Some reviewers mentioned that the vegetables can be overcooked. The food presentation is beautiful, and the flavors are bold and delicious, although some dishes may need improvement. The fried brussel sprouts and cauliflower are popular starters, and the sea bass entree is considered excellent.
The appetizers like pork belly and smoked chicken wings are well-liked, even if some items like the rib egg roll received mixed reviews. The sides, including greens and mac and cheese, are good, though there were comments on the mac and cheese being served too cold. The tossed salad and spicy Nashville chicken sandwich are also recommended and have been praised for their flavor.
Desserts such as banana pudding continue to be a favorite, while the peach cobbler bread pudding was described as overly sweet and overdone.
Overall, dining at Lillie Pearl is a mixed bag. While there are some standout dishes, such as the wings, short ribs, and the smothered pork chop, other offerings may not meet expectations. The restaurant's warm ambiance, good drink selection, and vibrant atmosphere make it worth a visit, especially with reservations recommended for a smoother experience.
